Wings of Freedom 2007

January 9, 2012 By Jeff

Of the 18,482 B-24 Liberators built during World War Two just 17 remain, of those just three are airworthy. It’s a similar story for the B-17 Flying Fortress and the B-25 Mitchell, of thousands built during the only handful remain, that’s one the reason I take every opportunity I can to photograph these great old planes… We shouldn’t forget them or the men flew them, it’s their courage an sacrifice that preserved the freedoms we enjoy.

These photos were taken at Waterbury-Oxford Airport on August 7, 2007. For more information about the aircraft and the Collings Foundation that operates them as flying museums visit their web site at: http://www.collingsfoundation.org/
